Arbroath Harbour Birdlife


A short trip to Arbroath Harbour and surrounds looking for a Black Redstart, Long-tailed Duck, a Scoter or in my dreams a Desert Wheatear.... none of them were seen. 

The 95 Golden Plovers weren't unexpected, I thought they'd be hanging about on the tideline rocks, but where. I picked them out from Danger Point looking along to South Street, they didn't stay long as the tide rose.

Other photos are from Inchcape Park and the Curlie in Montrose.
